lyrics

THE WATER'S EDGE
Steve Holt / Maia Sharp

She got to the point she couldn’t take it anymore
I thought this is not the battle I signed up for
The next thing I knew I was walking out the door
To go on my odyssey

I heard myself saying what I’d been denying
I was talking to the devil, thinking about dying
Like I wasn’t worth saving, like it wasn’t worth trying
I was someone I didn’t want to be
It was drowning me

Then I saw my brothers on the water’s edge
And the fear, it fell away
I’d gone a mile between the man I was
And the man I am today

Sometimes I have that nightmare again
Flight 77 is taking my friends
It used to break me down but now I can bend
And make it to another sunrise

The spirit and the body, they’re both here
With a heart so full, no room for fear
My soul is free, my mind is clear
Now when I close my eyes

I see my brothers on the water’s edge
And the fear, it falls away
And I’ve gone miles between the man I was
And the man I am today

I saw my brothers on the water’s edge
And I knew I’d be okay
With miles between the man I was
And the man I am today
Miles between the man I was
And the man I am today
